Starting this summer, Chevrolet will offer its popular off-road Trail Boss trim as part of the 2026 Silverado EV lineup.
“Trail Boss has been one of the highest turning trims in our portfolio since we first launched it on the 2019 Silverado,” said Scott Bell, Vice President, Chevrolet. “Adding Trail Boss to Silverado EV gives customers an option that builds on our strong truck pedigree, high electric range and off-road capability.”
The Silverado EV Trail Boss will come with a two-inch lift, giving it 24% higher ground clearance than the base Silverado EV. The coil suspension is tuned with a hydraulic rebound control system.
Trim-exclusive Terrain mode is available at low speeds, offering additional control when maneuvering uneven terrain. Terrain mode unlocks 4-Wheel Steer for increased ability to control torque and traction at low speeds.
Sidewinder can be activated via the infotainment screen and allows all four wheels to turn in the same direction, allowing the truck to move diagonally at low speeds.
The Trail Boss version with the extended-range battery pack offers a max towing of 12,500 lb. and 2,100 lb. of payload. The Max Range battery pack can produce up to 725 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque.
It will come with two battery pack options: extended and max. The Extended battery option has an EPA-estimated range of 410 miles, while the Max has a GM-estimated range of 478 miles.
DC fast charging capabilities are available with a GM-estimated 100 miles in 10 minutes.
